Hi, Im Robert Nassar from Dinner Done. Were talking today about basic vegetable prep, and now were going to show you how to seed a tomato. Many times when using tomatoes in our salads, some of your guests or some of your family members might not want to have seeds in their tomatoes, and its a relatively easy thing to take the seeds out. What were going to need is a cutting board with a towel underneath it to keep it from slipping around, and a knife, that simple. So, to begin, set the part of the tomato that had the stem on it, face down, and cut your tomato by holding it on both sides and putting your knife in the middle in two. This is what it should like. You will notice that one side will be open and the other side will be closed. So, make another cut so that we get quarters, and now comes the easy part. You can use a spoon or you can just squeeze it if you will. If you just squeeze it, you will see how the pulp with all the seeds comes out, leaving you with just the tomato flesh itself, or you can take a spoon and spoon out those seeds. They will come out all in one chunk, there will be a little bit of juice along with that, but now youve got pure tomato flesh and none of the seeds, and thats how you seed a tomato.
